[hobbit] Question regarding logins and content checks

[Tom Moore]

I could, but I love the simpleness of this in my bb-hosts, rather than having to write external scripts

Typically the way a log out is started is by clicking a link.  Could you not just wget or curl the URL?

Greetings,

I have successfully configured the "post" http monitor to login to a website using a form.  However, I don't think this monitor has the ability to "log out" like Sitescope for example and thus the end application server ends up with a lot of idle logins and eventually exhausts the connection limit.  Is there any process to have hobbit do an additional check/post on the "log off" button after the initial login and content check (if successful)?

Thanks,
Tom
